Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Projects as a 2-way 'D' who can be used on the 2nd unit PP if required.
Historically Norlinder has been deployed at ES and the PP playing pro in Sweden. He does not have a history of being used on the PK despite showing he is reliable at ES.
Sees the ice. Outlets accurately. More of a distributor than a shooter in the offensive zone.
Solid skater. Quick out of the gate. Not a physical defender. Adapting to the smaller ice surface and speed rush against will take some time but he has sound IQ and should adjust.

Deployed at (ES) and (PP). Does not (PK) in the SHL. Reliable defender at (ES)
A distributor on the (PP). He wastes little time with the puck on his stick. He sees the ice and makes quick, accurate puck plays. Much more of a distributor than a shooter.
A good skater. Quick out of the gate. He's agile. His read/react game is sound. Solid hockey IQ. Not much of a physical element but he will take a hit to make a play. Steady 2-way 'D'
